#1 | | New Workshop (and house) - Work in Progress Name: Brad City: Mocksville State: NC County: Davie Join Date: Aug 2008 Age: 29  01-18-2009, 10:01 PM
My new home is almost finished (planning to move next weekend), so here's a few pictures of where I'll be setting up shop.
Back of the new house. Bottom Left is a single garage where I'll get set up. I'll have about a 14x20 of permanent usable space, and another 10 or so feet available if I move the yard tools and mower out of the way. 
A view inside: 
Cabinets my father-in-law saved from their kitchen remodel. These should work nicely. 
Drill press and scroll saw. Both need a little work and care, but are functional. 
New planer I mentioned in another thread. 
More to come as things get set up.

Nice space, and I don't see any driveway heading to it so it can't be misinterpreted for what it really is.
I look forward to seeing your shop come together.

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Nice looking house & shop space. It will be real easy to get your new jointer, dust collector, band saw, table saw, etc. in there. .gif "Drogar Laugh(DBG)") | |

That's one heck of a spread. Congratulations!!!
One question for those more in the know than I. I saw in the first interior pic of the shop a gas hot water heater. Should there be any concern about the fine wood dust? | |

Nice looking place, I like the deck on back, the whole place looks great. I know you'll enjoy the shop too, got to have a 'play room' of your own in a spread like that. I agree the yard tools are going to have to be in their own little shed to make more space for your stuff!!

The water heater is electric, so no issues there. Other than keeping the dust down the best I can.
The ceilings and non block walls are insulated and sheetrocked, so "hopefully" dust doesn't seep into the rest of the house. | |

Nice looking place Brad, but I think I see tool shed, in your not so distant future, for the mower and yard tools.
